There's a bunch of topics for a potential new security-wg which seem to be broadly acceptable to people on the WG, and another set of suggestions relating to telling the RIPE NCC to turn itself into an enforcement body, which has never reached consensus over the years. The question for the WG is whether to move forward with rechartering to what it can agree on or - once again - get bogged down on what it can't. This is where the problem is.

The WG can make suggestions, RIPE NCC considers this, and if necessary asks the members, possibly explaining, or asking the WG to explain why the change makes sense. Most people are sensible. I don't see where there is a problem. Best Serge On 13.05.24 16:11, Michele Neylon - Blacknight wrote: <blockquote type="cite">Suresh It might be helpful to discuss this with them. I’m sure there are **some** things that they could do without putting it to the members, but there’s a lot of things that would need member agreement in order to change.

The WG cannot magically change that. </blockquote> This is the old merry go round. Maybe RIPE NCC needs to change certain things, or it will be changed for them. The WG could provide guidance and suggest possible avenues where RIPE needs/should change. RIPE can then still ignore that. Believe it or not: Organizations can change. So if you say you don't want to discuss this, fine. But don't blame it RIPE not being able to change.
